Vin Diesel has been vocal about the death of his friend and co-star Paul Walker, and Sunday night, the action star sang a tribute to the man he called 'brother.'

Diesel said,  "The last time I stood on this stage, I was with my brother Pablo," referring to Walker, the Today show reported.

Then he started performing "See You Again," made famous by Wiz Khalifa.

Where did the inspiration for the song? Today reported it came from Diesel's 4-year-old son, saying that his son had been singing it recently, making the Fast and Furious cast members cry when they heard it.
